Where Were We

edm, electronic, techno, dubstep, industrial, goth, alt rock, trip hop

Clock keeps on collapsing craters in our lungs
Running from the future like it’s already done
Hands up in the after, falling into now
All the world is shaking but it can’t touch us here somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
While it burns outside
We stand, unashamed 
In the eye of the storm
We found a place to claim

[Chorus]
Where were we
When the world went quiet
When the weight fell off our shoulders
Just to breathe
Where were we
In the soundless moment
When the dark stopped being lonely
Just to be, just for we
Where were we

[Verse 2]
The days keep chasing forward, harder to command
Creature comforts linger, but offer us no plan
The mob blends all together — turns more menacing
Captured in the mind-dregs of unnamed enemies

Gravity is breaking, time is out of sync
All the lines are fading, racing to the brink
But in this little fracture, in this stolen space
We become the stillness, we create a place

[Pre-Chorus]
Let it crash outside us
And wrestle with the chains
In the calm between us
We breathe the air of change

[Bridge]
No flags, no claims
Both sides feel the same
No thorns or twisted vines
Just light, forging a straight line
No walls, no war, no tears to hide
No ghosts, no fault — hold on this time
To here, right now, 
and the wish to keep it alive

[Final Chorus] (bigger, layered vocals)
Where were we
When the world fell silent
When the hate became a memory
We could leave
Where were we
In the open heartbeat
When the dark gave way to harmony
You and me, you and we
Where were we
When the hurt stopped mattering
When the past let go and let us be
Where were we

[Verse] Catch fire in a capsule, ashes in our eyes Screens are screaming louder — chaos in the light Try to take the right stand — who will you betray? Cancel culture kicks in, tolerance is fake There are no easy answers breaking out the truth Hear the still voice piercing through the noise to you Clock keeps on collapsing craters in our lungs Running from the future like it’s already done Hands up in the after, falling into now All the world is shaking but it can’t touch us here somehow [Pre-Chorus] While it burns outside We stand, unashamed In the eye of the storm We found a place to claim [Chorus] Where were we When the world went quiet When the weight fell off our shoulders Just to breathe Where were we In the soundless moment When the dark stopped being lonely Just to be, just for we Where were we [Verse 2] The days keep chasing forward, harder to command Creature comforts linger, but offer us no plan The mob blends all together — turns more menacing Captured in the mind-dregs of unnamed enemies Gravity is breaking, time is out of sync All the lines are fading, racing to the brink But in this little fracture, in this stolen space We become the stillness, we create a place [Pre-Chorus] Let it crash outside us And wrestle with the chains In the calm between us We breathe the air of change [Chorus] Where were we When the world went quiet When the weight fell off our shoulders Just to breathe Where were we In the soundless moment When the dark stopped being lonely Just to be, just for we Where were we [Bridge] No flags, no claims Both sides feel the same No thorns or twisted vines Just light, forging a straight line No walls, no war, no tears to hide No ghosts, no fault — hold on this time To here, right now, and the wish to keep it alive [Final Chorus] (bigger, layered vocals) Where were we When the world fell silent When the hate became a memory We could leave Where were we In the open heartbeat When the dark gave way to harmony You and me, you and we Where were we When the hurt stopped mattering When the past let go and let us be Where were we
